The One Time When the New York Post is Funny
This is just too good. So good that I also tweeted and instagramed this bad boy. I think if you're a Jet fan right now, you're already selling your season tickets because I saw this team play one half and they are even worse than they were last year. I'm just curious though, what could possibly make a Jet fan excited about this upcoming season? I mean I could think of one thing and that's the fact that Rex Ryan has now reduced his chances of having a heart attack on the sideline by dropping a couple pounds. After that, there's really nothing more to be happy about. But hey, you guys still made it to back to back AFC Championship games right? Remember, you can always hang your hat on that. And if you really want to get creative, you can talk about that Super Bowl you won in 1969. Hell of a year huh?

It's Back to School
Okay, usually the whole excitement of classes starting lasts a whopping 5 minutes. You purchase your notebooks, pens and textbooks and you promise yourself that you will take fantastic notes, read every chapter and be organized. Then, the moment you sit down in that lecture hall and you see your professor wearing a fanny pack, then all that excitement kind of goes away and the notebooks don't seem as cool anymore and the textbooks just look like a waste of paper. Then you get the syllabus and it too is a waste of paper. Then to top it all off you see that you have a good old fashion mid-term on the day you were planning to leave to visit your buddy. Yeah, that pretty much kills the excitement. As you glance over the syllabus, you catch the eye of a girl or guy who you hooked up with but it ended in the most awkward way possible. Chances are you probably stopped texting them or one night when you were a little inebriated, you decided to say some things that weren't exactly kosher. You then proceed to try to pretend you weren't looking but of course you were. Then comes the whole turning red phase. The face gets hot and now you're a dead giveaway that you were sneaking a peek. These types of events are inevitable. You can't avoid them. They're going to happen and you can't do anything about it. But hey, isn't that what makes college fun?

Can't Stand LeBron But ESPN Trying Too Hard Here
Classic example of ESPN focusing too much on the NBA. This graphic makes no sense. I know Lebron is a choker but this is digging way too deep for proof.
Philadelphia Angry Birds?
I Don't Know
This is Why the Stanley Cup is the Greatest Trophy in Sports
I watched the Stanley Cup, I don't know if anybody else did but I watched it. I love hockey, phenomenal very underrated sport. Unfortunately, this year's cup viewing audience was down 60 percent but that really isn't surprising. I mean, last year's Stanley Cup is being touted as one of the best of all time obviously. But these two nuggets belong to Dustin Brown, LA King and Stanley Cup champ. Well, his day with the cup consisted of filling it with chocolate milk and letting his boys drink out of it. Can't do this with the Super Bowl trophy, can't do it with the World Series trophy and most certainly can't do it with the World Cup trophy. A side note, the World Cup trophy might be the ugliest in all of sports. But anyway, this reminded me of some other crazy things champions have done with the cup. No Ryan Callahan is not pictured in these because he hasn't won one.
Brad Marchand, Boston Bruin, enjoys a nice helping of Frosted Flakes out of the cup. He has the same birthday as me by the way. Epic. Yes.
Drinking from the Stanley Cup could make any crappy beer taste good, even Keystone.
The Penguins take the Cup for a quick dip after their victory in the 2008-09 final.
After the cup went missing in Boston because we celebrate hard in Beantown, it found its way to Pebble Beach.

Let's Put the Lebron Talk to Bed
Now I'm sure everybody watched the Celtics, Heat series and heard Jeff Van Gundy just take over the Lebron fan base and take charge of it. Van Gundy basically ranted claiming that he doesn't understand why everybody hates Lebron and that we all need to just stop. Listen, Lebron asked for this himself. He claimed that the Heat would win 4, 5, 6, 7 rings and so far they've been close but nothing yet. Lebron is without question one of the best players on the planet. However, not every phenomenal player has what it takes to win a championship. Just take a look at a man who played in the exact same city, Dan Marino. Marino had all the skills that a quarterback needs and yes he is often touted as one of the best to play the position. Lebron I feel is well on his way to being yet another ringless Miami 'great.' Don't get me wrong, he is without a doubt one of the most talented players on the face of the Earth, but you can't teach clutchness and you can't teach desire. I don't think he has the fire inside him to get it done, no matter who is on his team. Yes, he practically carried the Cavs in his days in Cleveland but if he had that fire, he would have stayed there. He panicked, and by panicking he has done nothing but put more pressure on himself. If he still dawned the yellow and red Cavalier uniform, the path to winning a championship would not have been guaranteed, but the pressure would have been less. I thought that maybe his performance in game 6 against the Celtics was him turning the corner, but he simply cannot match the clutch ways of Kevin Durant. It will again be another ringless summer for Lebron.
